My newsletter is ready to go!I I’m not going to send it until tomorrow evening, though. I have included an introduction section, networking & self-promotion tips, a calendar of events, links to my books, and how to find me online. It’s longer than it sounds. And because of that, I feel like it’s ready to […]

Works-in-Progress
Have you ever thought about why current projects are called “work-in-progress” (WIP)? Have you ever been in the middle of something and it…just…doesn’t….feel quite right? I’m there.
